Hey Starfish,
What we are doing in class this week is making the news! Check out today's (Jan. 21st) edition of the Beaches Leader for the front page picture and story.
Speaking of newsworthy, all eyes (including ours) were on Washington DC yesterday as President Obama became the 44th President of the United States (POTUS for short) and the first African American president ever! It's so cool to be watching history happen, don't you think?

We've been linking it to our study of the Civil Rights Movement to finish the non-fiction unit. I just found out yesterday that Governor Crist is sponsoring an essay contest relating very closely to what we've been talking about in class. One middle school student can win a full-paid tuition to a Florida University! Wow, what an opportunity. Details coming soon.
Last night I watched President Obama dance at the MTV Youth Inaugural Ball. He said that young people (that's you ... and me, even though I'm a old, old lady) must rise up to the challenges facing our nation. I'm curious, as young people, what do you think America needs more than anything right now? How can you help?
See you in class!

I think education is the most important thing. I want to be able to pay for college. I think all the kids not going to school because they cant pay for college is crazy. Everyone should have a chance to go to school and its hard to pay the prices of college.
I think its so cool that obama is our new president.
whats up ms.layendecker , i think that america needs a lesser amount of bills signed by president Obama because it is just taking money other people might need and putting towerds something such as health insurance and their childrens eduction.And think of the trees. lemons are pretty good
